Latvian Championship Ultra long (08.10.2017)

A surprising ending to season 2017 - a silver medal in a very strong field. After stupid mistakes to first two controls and following crazy pace until first butterfly, finally pace settled and we formed a group of five runners chasing a lone leader. Different route choices were tried but that didn't split the group. We almost caught the leader at control 40 and then I made my move which was succesful - 2nd place in the finish, 3 seconds after Arturs Paulins, who kept his lead until the end.
